    Netflix Netflix (once again) Raises All Subscription Plans in U.S.

    It seems that the pedals are off the streaming rose. With streaming services seeming to have peaked in subscribers and several are now in subscriber decline HBO and Netflix are both there and the other services growth has slowed to a trickle (Disney has slowed and the stock took a tumble)...

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    Any album? As the good Gene WIlder once said "Wrong sir, wrong". Many albums I collect are not on these services. I was wanting to listen to the full Star Trek the Motion Picture soundtrack and these services didnt have the full album only one or two songs. This has happened to me in the past...

    Isnt it possible that we will see very inexpensive region free players. These manufacturers will not be required to conform to any of the region locking if they choose not to.

    The slowdown in Hanna Barbera started around the time of the release of the HB anniversary disc sets by regular Warners. The press release said many series never before released would be but that never happened. Has regular Warner video arm released HB programming from the moratorium so it can...

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    I thought patents can be renewed and if not renewed it opens up the market so anyone can make them? According to legals "No one else can manufacture or sell your invention unless you give permission. ... Depending on what you've invented, your patent will expire in either 14 or 20 years. When...

    I am curious where your source is on these HB titles not selling? I keep up with many of the popular forums and podcasts and havent seen or heard anything on this. Have I missed something? I have noticed an overall warner archive slowdown on all titles live action and animation.

    I also notice very few LCD and LED panel makers with rebadged tv in various companies and models. This happens throughout the CE world it seems. Also recently noticed new Verbatim drives, TEAC drives and Hitachi drives. Not concerned about not finding drives in the future I can still buy new...

    I thought they said Porky Pig did well? I dont think they mentioned HB doing poorly if memory serves. But over the past few years they have released very little so how can they say it's not selling if the haven released any???

    I'm buying more digitally. Still want to own but doesnt need to be physical. There is a market for this business as well and it's on the increase too.

    I think we will see more HB releases. They are taking their sweet time though getting them out. All animation that is restored or worked on can be sold not only in a disc format but also any other physical or digital EST or Rental stream service as well. The HB releases have been good sellers...

    Warner Archive: Popeye the Sailor (1940s) First Volume on Blu-ray

    I know what your saying, sales of discs are in decline but they are in the Multi Billions of dollars a year. I'm not a negative Nancy! That's a lot of sell thru and doesnt include EST sales which are also in the billions. Laser disc survived for years with sales in the millions. Collectors...

    Anyone else disappointed in the 2018 Holiday Season TV shows on DVD & Blu Ray Announcements?

    As far as DVD dying I would hardly call an industry that makes Multi Billions in 2018 "dead" . Also digital download sales are on the increase. Still lots of people buying even though not as many as previously were. Also I have begun purchasing digital downloads of series it seems Warner...

    Flixster Video Shuts Down

    They definitely need to fix the issues they are having with EST. Hopefully someone steps up to the plate. What "Critical Vendor" do they speak of? Flixster is owned by Fandango.

    It's official, we've hit the hockey stick moment for 4K disk prices

    With Billions in physical sales every year (yes even in 2017) and sales leveling out overall,It will be many years before Physical "dies" on the vine. Ive been hearing doomsaying for years and I can still purchase the media at all my favorite outlets I like at very good prices. On another note...

    The release does state "Many" which have never been released on DVD and digital. Sounds like a bit more new stuff is on the way :). We shall see. I would like to see more of the flintstone spin off series. Dont we have a few more of those to see released?

    No they are talking about Electronic Sell Thru. Also Grape Ape for example is available in electronic sell thru but not yet DVD. Im thinking that one would be a good release candidate.
